Description

Actian OpenROAD is a robust, database-oriented, object-driven fourth-generation rapid application development platform designed for the creation and deployment of essential, multi-tier business applications on both Windows and Linux systems. This environment empowers developers to swiftly design and implement high-performance, reliable applications while seamlessly interfacing with various databases, including Ingres, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle through ODBC, thereby accommodating a diverse array of enterprise data sources. A key focus of OpenROAD is to facilitate application modernization, enabling organizations to leverage and repurpose their existing business logic, which mitigates the expenses and risks associated with rewriting extensive amounts of legacy code. The platform offers tools for transforming outdated “green screen” ABF applications into contemporary user interfaces, encapsulating business logic into reusable services, and converting traditional client applications into web-based or mobile-optimized solutions utilizing technologies like HTML5, JavaScript, and WebView2. Additionally, it provides a comprehensive framework that supports integration with modern development practices, ensuring that businesses can adapt to evolving technological landscapes while preserving their foundational investments.

Description

TierDeveloper serves as a code generator for object-relational mapping within the .NET ecosystem, allowing users to seamlessly link business and data objects to relational tables while also enabling the integration of SQL and stored procedure calls directly within these objects, ultimately generating fully functional code in either C# or VB.NET. This tool significantly reduces development time, allowing tasks that might typically require weeks or months to be completed in mere days, and enhances overall code quality by producing standardized code applicable throughout the entire application and even across multiple projects. While TierDeveloper has traditionally specialized in the creation of business and data objects, developers have had to manually construct the graphical user interface (GUI) and invoke these objects from there due to the highly customized nature of GUIs, which made them less suitable for straightforward code generation. However, with the advent of .NET 2.0 and its Custom Controls Framework, rapid GUI development has become a viable option, enabling TierDeveloper to facilitate swift GUI design that integrates smoothly with the automatically generated business and data objects. Consequently, developers can now enjoy a more cohesive and efficient workflow, significantly enhancing productivity and reducing the complexity of application development.
